Manchester United defender Gabby George has completed a transfer to Women’s Super League rivals Brighton and Hove Albion, departing United for a new chapter in her career.
According to a report by Emerson Lee for GoonerDaily, George has sealed her switch to the south coast club and is expected to begin pre-season preparations with her new teammates.
George leaves Manchester United after becoming a recognisable presence at the club and contributing to its development in the women’s game over recent seasons. Her departure means United will look to reshape their defensive options.
Brighton add experience to their squad
Brighton have been building their squad with considerable ambition, and George’s arrival represents a statement of intent from the south coast club. She brings experience and physicality to a side that has continued to build its reputation in the Women’s Super League as a competitive and well-organised outfit.
Brighton’s recruitment team has been active in targeting players with top-flight experience, and George fits the profile of the type of character the club wants to bring in. The move gives her an opportunity to take on a fresh challenge at a club that has shown progression in recent years under its current setup.
Further details expected
The Women’s Super League continues to attract player movement between clubs, with transfers such as this reflecting the division’s growing competitiveness and financial investment. Both clubs are expected to confirm further details around the transfer in the coming days.
George will hope to make a quick start at Brighton and cement her place in the starting lineup as the club pursues further success in 2026. Her move is another example of the increasing fluidity in the WSL transfer market, where experienced players are in high demand across multiple competitive squads.
Brighton supporters will be eager to see what George can bring to the team as the club continues to position itself among the stronger forces in English women’s football.
